Stormblåst

Stormblåst ("Stormblown" in English) is the second studio album by Norwegian black metal band Dimmu Borgir. It was released on 25 January 1996 through Cacophonous Records, and re-released in 2001 by Century Media. The album is entirely in the band's native language of Norwegian, and was their last album to be completely in Norwegian instead of English. This is also the first album where Tjodalv switched to drums as opposed to guitar and the last where lyrics would be written by Aldrahn (of Dødheimsgard and Ved Buens Ende) until 2003's Death Cult Armageddon, and the last album to feature Brynjard Tristan on bass guitar. More keyboards were employed for this album than previously by the band, and the guitars and bass became more musically textured. In 2005, a completely re-recorded version of this album was released as Stormblåst MMV.
